Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a special call for papers focused on the emerging role of non-invasive techniques such as cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and gene expression profiling in monitoring kidney and/or pancreas transplant recipients. These non-invasive technologies hold potential for the early detection and monitoring of allograft rejection and injury, as well as for the optimization of immunosuppression strategies. Additionally, newer technologies, such as Torque Teno Virus (TTV) monitoring, are emerging in the market landscape. There are reports of using such technologies to address unique clinical challenges, such as viral infections and the recurrence of disease, among others. We are seeking original research, reviews, and case studies that explore the use of such non-invasive testing in kidney transplantation through topics including, but not limited to, the early detection of rejection, the assessment of allograft injury or infections, the prediction of graft survival, and the optimization of immunosuppression. We believe that your research will contribute significantly to improving outcomes for kidney/pancreas transplant recipients.
Prof. Dr. Anil S. Paramesh
